The system is 5 weeks old and was working perfectly for 3 weeks. The last 2 weeks it has not worked properly. I contacted Signature Solar a little over a week ago and have received no help yet so I'm posting this here to see if the community can shed some light. Latest firmware and have not changed settings since initial setup.

Problem - AC started charging the batteries even though I do not have that enabled (stays on constantly unless I flip AC breaker in main panel). Also, battery balance seems off...used to be much closer (EG4 batteries). Shown in video. Strange inverter hum shown in video (new hum just started yesterday)

Setting 10 = OSO
Setting 13 = 10 amps even though AC battery charging is not enabled
Setting 30 and 31 are all default

Hello dspecgsx,

Were there any changes at all done to the system when this issue started happening? Could you tell me when you updated to the latest firmware?
 
Hello dspecgsx,

No changes. I think the latest firmware was installed around June 13th. The issue started on July 3rd.
 
Could you Reflash the latest firmware and see if the issue is still happening? Is your AC input coming from the grid or a generator?
I can do then when I get home. AC input is coming from the grid. What should setting 34 be set at?
 
Where is your neutral ground bond currently located at in your system? After I know this I will be able to assist with setting 34
